Ruth Lewis plays Toora Loora Loora during a singalong at Prince Edward Home. Lewis recently received an award from the Prince Edward Home/Beach Grove Home for volunteer work. She received a pin from Garden Home and from the premier during the International Year of Volunteers in 2001, as well as many thank you cards for her hours of dedication.

    We as frontline staff certainly appreciate Mrs Lewis. When someone brings joy to the residents it brings joy to the staff as well. We love to see her come in the door.

    Thank you for your unselfish work. We need more Islanders to get involved with our loved ones and our forgotten loved ones. Again, thanks for the smiles and the love.

    Nice to hear a great story like this. Seniors are often forgotten people. I wish there were more out there like Mrs. Lewis. The best part of this is that she actually enjoys doing this, and is not just doing it to say that she is doing something to help out. She is bringing joy into these seniors lives and after watching that video, it looks like the feeling is mutual. Great job Mrs. Lewis!
